Mashup Score: 7Does the format of result presentation and type of conclusion in Cochrane plain language summaries matter? A randomised controlled trial - 4 month(s) ago
Objectives This study aimed to investigate whether the format and type of conclusion in Cochrane plain language summaries (PLSs) influence readers’ perception of treatment benefit and decision-making. Design An online parallel group, three-arm randomised controlled trial was conducted. Setting The study was conducted online. Participants The participants were physiotherapy students. Interventions The participants read two Cochrane PLSs, one with a positive conclusion (strong evidence of benefit) and another with a negative conclusion (strong evidence of non-benefit). Each participant read the results of both reviews presented in one of three formats: (1) numerical, (2) textual or (3) numerical and textual. Main outcome measures The primary outcome measure was the participants’ perception of treatment benefit. Results All three groups of participants perceived the treatment to have positive effects when the Cochrane PLS had a positive conclusion, regardless of the format of presentation

Mashup Score: 13Improving the transparency and reliability of observational studies through registration - 4 month(s) ago
Florian Naudet and colleagues argue that routine registration of observational research is needed and suggest how current processes can be adapted to facilitate it From the use of booster doses against covid-191 to approval of novel cancer therapies,2 health authorities and health technology assessment bodies are increasingly relying on non-randomised trials and observational studies. The methodological problems of observational studies, such as residual confounding,3 are difficult to resolve, but concerns about transparency and reliability can be reduced through registration. Registration is an open science practice whereby research hypotheses, elements of study design, and planned statistical analyses are prespecified, preferably in a centralised repository. Registration has become the norm for clinical trials (interventional studies),4 and some have called for it to be adopted for observational studies.56 However, opponents argue that systematic registration is unrealistic, unnecess

Mashup Score: 2Qualitative research augments quantitative analyses on caregiver burden in Parkinson’s disease: expanding the horizon of predefined constructs - 4 month(s) ago
Commentary on: Geerlings AD, Kapelle WM, Sederel CJ, Tenison E, Wijngaards-Berenbroek H, Meinders MJ, Munneke M, Ben-Shlomo Y, Bloem BR, Darweesh SKL. Caregiver burden in Parkinson’s disease: a mixed-methods study. BMC Med . 2023 Jul 10;21(1):247. doi: 10.1186/s12916-023-02933-4. Providing informal care for patients with PD is challenging and may be accompanied by caregiver burden. Various factors associated with an increased risk of caregiver burden have been described previously, for example, severity of motor impairment and neuropsychiatric symptoms. However, these metrics are based on predefined constructs such as questionnaires or rating scales, thereby limiting in-depth. …
